Bubbies is very good. Only better option if you can find it is Ba-Tempte http://www.batamptepickle.com/
Mom loves bubbies. I bet I could have found bata.. whatever at Glaziers before they closed here. Was a local favorite grocery store owned by New Yorkers that sold when the owner had a health problem I think. That sucks.
Waffle House is pretty good. If you want a great breakefast such as great Swedish pancakes, outstanding apple pancakes the best coffee on Earth, terrific service, very good to excellent everything else, go to the Original Pancake House. My niece knows the owners' daughter and all the family gets trained in the restaurant business by beginning as waitresses in the original restaurant on Barbur Blvd., aka 99W. Oh yeah, all their orange juice and grapefruit juice is fresh squeezed. We first went there, always after church, somewhere in the early to mid 50s. Be prepared for a long wait on Sundays.
Good burgers in SoCal, Hawaii and portions of Arizona and Nevada is Islands. https://www.islandsrestaurants.com/ Much better than in-and-out which I find meh (like, excuse me, Burgerville - they are just not that special). Of course, if you really want a surfer's fast food - the correct answer is a California Burrito - and Roberto's is the classic place.
Ya'll are crazy. Idk how long it's been for some of you, but Burgerville has gone downhill. I would rather have a big mac at Mcdonalds. Shake Shack has the best burgers. Shake shack is opening in Seattle soonish. In n out is ok. Five guys burgers are meh, but the cajun fries are great.
Yelped the one here. Not interested really. If I want Hawaiian anything I go here and fight off 350lb island women for a table. First time I set foot in this place and didn't feel gigantic next to the women customers I knew it would be amazing. http://www.islandflavor808.com Mmmmmm, Furikake chicken.
-ugh- freshed squeezed waffle house make me think of super-compacted ashtray particles...which my neighbor imparts to me daily... *sigh*
Don't like cajun fries or any seasoned fries for that matter but the regular fries at Five Guys are great. Their hamburgers are not too good, though. For the best shake, you gotta come to my house. For the second best shake, you gotta find a Häagen-Dazs.
Move. OMG, I hate cigarette smoke and cigarette ashes. My mother, father and brother used to smoke. My father quit early and my mother and brother died of cancer. Cigarette smoking is big in the deep South.
One of my biggest pet peeves is a nice car someone smokes in and destroys. Now I get to work on ones that smell like weed. Your insurance shouldn't cover you if your car smells like that.
Burgerville has some of the best burgers I've ever had. Love the environment, just like your in the fifties. When I lived further east I went to Cruisers which was also pretty good. Not as good as BV though. Lucky for me I have a Burgerville right across the street.
I heard so much about In and Out, I was so hyped to go their when I was down visiting family in california. It didn't wow me. Wasn't really that great.
